Evening all,

We had a great afternoon visit. Right after I blogged the last time, I went back up to see Randy. He was responding to my voice, and seemd to have recognition. He was able to move his right foot on command 7 or 8 times, his left foot only a couple of times. He didnt move his hands on command, but shortly after asking him to move his hands, he moved his right hand on his own (This may or may not have been voluntary).
The nurses were pleased.

Tonight however, they were late opening the doors due to Randy. He had gotten upset for some reason that isn't quite known at this time. His respiration went real high and his blood pressure jumped. He is running a 102.3 temp. The nurses said that it was kind of like he was hyperventilating. They gave him some meds to calm him down, and it was working. He was sleeping, and smoothing out. Not sure what excited him. The Nurse said he acts the same way when they take him to x-ray, as if he knows where he is going and is angry about doing so. Hmmmmmm....Go Figure!

This is Dr. Harold Smith, one of Randys main doctors. For more information about Covenant NeuroScience Institute, follow this link: http://www.covenanthealth.org/Facilities/neuroscienceinstitute/default

Not much else to report. The storm is nearly here, the wind is beginning to howl. Gonna head for home.

Love to all the folks back home. E-mail me if you find time.
